- National Scale: Whether you need a single crystal trophy for a CEO in New York or 500 custom plaques for branches across Texas and Florida, we have the capacity and the logistics network to deliver.

About Us:
American Craftsmanship, National Reach
SINCE 1950... OVER
75 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Gino’s Awards Inc. is a premier national manufacturer of custom recognition products, trophies, and corporate awards. From our central headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, we design, manufacture, and ship awards to corporations, organizations, and families across all 50 states.
Founded in 1950 by U.S. Navy veteran Gino Zavarella, we are one of the few retail recipients of the Golden Obelisk Award, the industry’s highest honor. With an internal error rate of less than 1% and a staff tenure averaging over 25 years, we combine old-world craftsmanship with the logistical capacity to handle complex corporate programs nationwide.
Our History: A Legacy of Service
The story of Gino's Awards is the story of American resilience. Following his service in the U.S. Navy during World War II and Korea, our founder, Gino Zavarella, returned home with a vision to build something lasting. In 1950, he opened his shop with a simple promise: superior quality and personal integrity.
Today, that promise is kept alive by his son, Gino Zavarella Jr., and grandson, Nicholas Zavarella.
- Gino Jr. grew up on the shop floor, mastering the trade before earning his law degree. He ensures the company operates with the compliance and precision required by our Fortune 500 and legal sector clients.
- Nicholas, the third generation, integrates modern technology with our traditional manufacturing values. A graduate of the Boler School of Business at John Carroll University, he oversees the operational efficiency that allows us to deliver high-volume orders on tight deadlines.
Values That Travel
We believe a business is only as strong as its integrity.
- Community & Leadership: While we serve the nation, we remain rooted in community values, serving on the board of the Chamber of Commerce and the YES Foundation.
- Supporting Those Who Serve: In honor of our founder’s service, we provide ongoing support and discounts to Veterans, First Responders, Religious Organizations, and Service Groups nationwide.
